    I don't mind the concept of more of an nchc style setup, but you're overestimating on campus attendance. 

    and if Fargo, GF, Vermillion, Brookings, or Macomb can't sell out there average size home arena for a single elimination post season playoff game on a  friday night we all might as well just ask for membership in the Northern Sun Conference

    Not to mention short term travel logistics and making sure arenas are available. 

    The tournament is currently very profitable, it would be nice to stay that way. 

    I won't argue the atmosphere in the Betty was awesome when the women won there, but the greater good says this is a very good setup. 

    Greater good for South Dakota.... If the summit league loses st Thomas ukc and or oral Roberts.... You got the NCC 2.1

    Give me your attendance predictions....

    Then give me your attendance figures if the summit loses oral, KC to and or at Thomas and replace them with the artist formerly known as Mankato state (msu), st clown St, and Augie?

    couple of things, 

    there been 7 new D1 women's hockey programs added since UND drop theirs

    this year they allowed checking along the boards  your not allowed to do any  north to south hits 

    there are currently 2 professional Hockey Leagues for womens PHF and PWHF Darrly watts of wisconsin just signed the highest contract ever $300,000

    Swedish women's league allows full on checking.

    Should UND bring back womens hocky No!  for a couple of reasons

    The university is always doing budgets cuts 

     if it was legal drop all women's sports, not one has attendance to break even.

    UND women's basketball games have less than 800 people and UND Softball no one ever.

    I believe majority of UND Fans and alumni don't care about Womens Hockey as you see on this board. 

    Let the 7 new programs succeed and lets forgot about Womens sports in general. 

    Football is the #1 money maker in college sports nothing else comes close.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Won't matter... If everything goes as it's going there will only be one basketball team.... One hockey team and so on so on

    So the men's side drew 30k

    So...

    NDSU v Omaha attendance 6k

    St Thomas v UND attendance 2k (new 5k arena coming in St Paul soon)

    Western Illinois v Denver attendance 5k

    South Dakota v KC attendance 6k

    Then....

    Western Illinois v Omaha attendance 5k

    South Dakota v North Dakota attendance 6k

    Then...

    Oral Roberts v Omaha attendance 11k

    South Dakota State v North Dakota attendance 5k?

    Then...

    Oral Roberts v North Dakota attendance 11k

    So....55k is bigger than 30k

    Plus...

    What if UND hosted NDSU, SDSU, or USD and had the game at REA....10k instead of 3k?

    Same thing with NDSU... Fargo Dome instead of Scheels...10k instead of 6k?

    Same thing with Oral Roberts... How many fans could they get for two games at the BOK Center?

    SDSU and USD could use the Denny if they wanted...

    St Thomas could use the X or Target Center

    For having zero clue about what you're talking about, you sure seem to have a strong opinion about this.

    #1 The horizon league was forced out of Little Ceasars arena (and into their current format) because they had terrible attendance.  2# The Summit league draws nearly double the Horizon League mens tournament, and probably more than triple if you include women.  #3 The Horizon League, no matter the seeding, hosts the final rounds in IUPUI's HOME ARENA.  #4 You say it's a joke that Tulsa didn't play in Tulsa, while at the same time you say you like the Horizon format?  If ORU was in that league, not only would they still not be in Tulsa, but they would be in a conference member's home arena rather than a neutral site...  

    1.  good for the horizon league for making the change instead of forcing a neutral site tourney if the fans didn't/don't show up

    2.  i referenced the horizon league meaning i like first two rounds being on campus to highest seeds AND then moving the last two games to a pre determined site over a 2 day period (the summit league tourney is too long at the one site)...but would still prefer confernence champ host the the last two games (oral roberts)

    3.  i think you don't understand why i reference the city of Tulsa when referencing ORU...im not referencing tulsa university.

    How long does Seattle U wait for the WCC invite...are they happy playing a bunch of schools in Utah and Texas?  And if they are would Oral Roberts and Kansas City be happier going South (WAC) instead of almost always traveling North (Summit) (and having to play their postseason tournament in Sioux Falls, SD instead of Las Vegas, NV)?

    So the Summit leagues main sport.. which is wbb and mbb.. should forfeit a guaranteed every year 50K-70K ticketed fans at their tourney so that ORU and WIU can host a conference tourney game on their home court?

    Plus.. Summit League headquarters are in SF.

     

    It's not leaving Sioux Falls for the foreseeable future.

     

    1. yes...because it should be about the experience for the players....and it makes the regular season conf championship more special.

    2.  who cares where the league offices are...

    3. eventually it will....

    Every school would feel the financial impact of not having the tourney in Sioux Falls.

    how and why did the big10 stop going to Detroit (and i think st paul) for their post season tourney and just stay on campus now?

    anyone actually put those numbers on paper and compare....

    how about the actual experience for the players....those guys last night should've been going out to their fav restaurant with their family's in Tulsa instead of being in cold ass sioux falls....
